GML is a bit easier than PHP, and PHP is one of the easiest language in the programming language field.

If he was, he'd have something to show by now.

Just because you're developing a game doesn't mean you have to post pictures all the time.

I know that, but he said right in the first post that he would post a picture every week.

We've already gone over this...

And your point is...?

That wasn't supposed to be a point. *shot*

Has anyone thought about the actual company? This is highly unlikely, but remember how Patrick said that the company was mostly just a group of people making a game and he traveled all over the place?
What if the company's in trouble financially-wise? I doubt that it's Patrick doing the level design, graphics, modelling, etc. all by himself, so what if other people have been having life issues?

A while back, Patrick said he was the "one-man band" behind Midnight Synergy. I think that the "traveling around the world" thing was a joke, along with his employees inhaling helium to perform the voices of Stinky and Loof.

Patrick does all the design and code. Other people do music, models, and other things like that.

I'm guessing that GML would be eazyer to bugfix with. -nothing-

Edit:Eazyer, not eazy. Don't be offended by that. :3

So basically Master Wonder Mage was trying to say it would take Midnight Synergy several weeks to fix a single bug. derp

It's a joke. Patrick's an indie dev.

Even if it was just him, at least 21% of my point remains valid. x3

In that case, might I remind you all of this?

gameboy991 wrote:Here's an idea: Has anyone considered a fund raiser of some sort???

I just bought MOFI recently, and $6.99 (in U.S. dollars) isn't a whole lot.

Obviously, if Patrick is only making $7 each time a game is sold, and a relatively low number of people know about Wonderland, what are the chances MS's funding will fall short if it hasn't already?

Pretty high, I assume.

The $7 was because he constantly has discounts. It's normally $20

I think one of the reasons he lowered the prices for the games is because he wasn't making that much profit.

As I said, only a considerably low number of people know about Wonderland, let alone play the games.

People say Earthbound is SOO underrated. While I agree to SOME extent, but now it's so underrated that it's overrated - It's almost a meme itself.
If ANY game needs help, it is, as you said, Wonderland.
Which is why I am working on a WA LP, and soon, AND a Earthbound LP.

I wish Patrick would just tell us.

Not to be a pessimist, but I think we passed that point a few months back, so unless Patrick or someone he knows has contracted a serious illness, I think we can assume that he's choosing not to work on WA3.

Nor is it necessarily the amount of time needed to have obscene amounts of progress. I learned that with AODD. 365 days cannot finish a huge game.
How the heck did MNIK finish FOUR games in 365 days? Because his games are shorter than WA games or my original plans for AODD. ET5 should take about 365 days, and hopefully he won't get stuck for that long.

No one ever said anything about WA3 being finished in only 365 days. It's just that there's been no evidence of any progress for 365 days.

I know that, MNIK.
I was just bringing up a somehow related point.

It is related to the idiom of "Rome was not built in a day."

Yes. I am a man of idioms and metaphors, yet no-one on here ever understands me.

*drops topic*
Let's just either get on topic or let this die.

You just didn't want to admit you didn't know what you were talking about.

And what is there to talk about regarding on-topicness? Nothing's happening.
